Tho Milledgovillo Recorder, which has hereto-
foro acted with the Union party, declines to sup
port tho doctoral tickot recently put forth by tho
Union Convention at Milledgoville. It goes with
tho third party mon in a call for another Convention
and another candidato. As a Whig, our cotompo-
rary would support Gen. Scott in preference to
Gen. Pierce, if ho had to soloct between thorn.
Ho prefers a third candidato howevor, to dthcr.
Wo clip tho following paragraph from tho Re
corder, and commend its catholic spirit to mon of all

-Trade in tho manufacturing dis
tricts moderately favorable.
Crops, &c.—Tho weathor throughout England

were remarkably prosperous.
Political,
Tho elections for tho now Parliament aro generally
averse to tho present Ministry. Among tho mem
bers olectod as far as hoard from, are tho following:

tary of State, dated April 18th, 1845, in which ho
states that the British Government hod relinquished
tho oxdusive right of fishing in she Bay of Funday.
The Marshall House.—Our readore and the
travelling public wUl observe, by tho advertisement
of Mr. Johnson, tho Lessee, that this new estab
lishment has boon formally opened for the accom
modation of tho public. Tho Marshall House
centrally situated, and unites tho advantages pos
sessed by tho best modern hotels. It is all new and
neat, and supplied with furniture of an approved
description. Tho arrangement of tho different
apartments is .quito inviting, and many of them
havo been already engaged. Mr. Johnson
spoken of as very obliging, and well qualified for the
responsible charge he has undertaken. We are
persuaded that he will have a fair trial, and suppose
he con hardly foil to havo a good share of tho nu
merous visitors who annually throng to Savannah.
Indood, wo doubt if, with the addition of the Mar
shall House, the hotel accommodations will suffice
for the coming wants of the city.
The Murder of Bv’t Lt. Col, Craig of the Army,
The Washington Union publishes letters ad
dressed to Senator Dawson on the death of this
gallant and lamentnblo officer, who was murdered
near San Diego, California, by Corporal Hats and
privato Condon of D. Company, Indiana Infantry.
Tho circumstances of his death iilustrato the
character of the man, and are briefly theso: Colono
Craig, on tho morning of tho 6m instant, when
nbout ono-third of tho way across tho desert from
this sido, mot two dusortore from Camp Yuma, try
ing to make their way into tho settlements. Thoy
wore on foot, and armed with percussion muskets.
Tho Colonel and liis party wero on muics. Ho
pursued tho deserters, taking with him two Ser
geants, who, like himsolf, wero armed with pistols
and subres. Ho followed them two or three tniies,
urging them to surrender, and stating to them that
ho did not intend to uso force. At length tho do-
sertera halted, and Colonel Craig, taking off his
sable and pistol, and handing them to a Sergeant
in their prcsenco. dismounted, and unarmed ap
proached thorn, addressing them at tho same time.
Tho Colonel’s mule having strayed at that momont,
ono of the Sergeants wont to catch it. In tho act
of doing so, ho heard two shots in rapid succesion.
Turning his head ho saw tho Colonel and Sergeant
Beals fall. They then commenced firing .on him,
when he put spurs to his hone and fled to camp.—
A party-was immediately sent out. Tho body of
Colonel Craig was found, and near it tho sergeant,
who had been wounded in tho leg, tho samo bal
killing hia mule. The wounded Sergeant stated
that Colonel Craig was fired upon when within a
few feet of tho deserters: received tho shot in tho
front and lower port of his body; did not speak,
and expired in about ten minutes. He was buried
on tho desert, at a place called the "Alamo Wells.
Tho murderers wore arrested by tho Indians at
Tamacala, and will surely meet their reward, for
at tho last accounts tho Sorgeantwos recovering to
supply any link wanting in tho chain of ovidcnco,
Col. Craig is well known in this Stato, and mar
ried ono of the amiablo and beautiful daughters of
tho Rev; Dr. Church, President of tho Stato Uni
voreity at Athens. At tho timo of his death, ho
was in command of tho military escort of tho
boundary commission.

Distinguished Arrival.—Among_ tho distin
guished arrivals by tho steamship Honda, from Sa
vannah, wo porceivo the name of Mononoo Cogno
Scheidam, Esq., Socrotary of tho Cooney-Wooscy-
Waggi-Wautian Association. This gentleman is
accompanied by X-chairman of tho X-executivo
Committco and tho chief Treasurer—nil of whom
are vested to treat with Philosopher Grcoloy, Neal
Dow, and ythor distinguished personages, in regard
to tho extension of tho Maino Liquor Law among
the tribes of Indians on tho Pacific const.
This Association is ono of very ancient standing
among tho Western tribes—not contaminated by
thoir connection with modem philosophers or Spir
itual Rappers. Its origin is mattter ol gravo spec
ulation. Somo suppose its principles to havo beon
derived from tho ancient order or Kochabitos.—
Others havo traced thorn ns far back ns the Gordon
of Eden, where, thoy contond, tho whole human
family onco became cssontially fuddled by partak
ing too freely of Adam’s olo. Theso theories all
seem to bo contradicted by tho fact that tho only
printed Book, held by tho association, is a time
worn copy of tho Now-England Primer, contain
ing a touching and artistic portrait ot John Rogers
and his rather numerous family. Upon this, tho
Chief Sachem, always chosen for his Ilcrculoan
iroportions, has been accustomed to oxpatiato nt
argo upon tho admissions of applicants—impress
ing them with its gravo teachings and solomn in
junctions. For this reason, the principles of tho
association aro presumed to bo of Pilgrim origin,
and therefore peculiarly adapted to this latitude and
that of Now England.
It is tho intention of tho venerable Schoidam
and his associates to establish a branch in this city;
and for that purpose they huvo letters of credit upon
certain capitalists,equal in amount at least to tholrish
fund, so incontinently disposed of by philosopher
Grooley and others. Theso letters are based upon
certain mining operations in which the said Asso
ciation and Old Bullion arc said to have beon joint
operators. Tho work is said to havo beon exceed
ingly profitable, and wo havo no doubt tho invest
ment will bo engcrly Bought aftor by many of our
Wall stroot operators.
Mohongo Cogno Scheidam, is evidently a true
son of tho forest, though his sagacity would indi
cate a more eastern origin. Ho is a most venera
ble and imposing personage, and wo think ho is
fully entitled to tho hospitalities of tire city. Wo
regret exceedingly that ho is not sufficiently ac
quainted with the English language to justify tho
calling of a public meeting in tho Park, as ho is
said to bo profoundly and touchingly eloquent in
us own language. Wo will endonvor to send Ids
full length portrait to philosopher Greeley, at tho
earliest possible moment. At presont ho is exclu
sively employed at his hotel, in tho arduous labors
of bis important mission.
Tho old Savannah steamer J. IF. Rabun, sold
somo twelve or eighteen months ago to a Now-
Orloans company, is, wo loom, to bo put on the
lino between that place and Key West, touching
Pensacola, Apalachicola, St. Marks, &c.
Savannah Courier.—Papers from tho interior
bring us tho prospectus of tho Savannah Courier,
tho first number of which will probably bo issued in
tho course of ton or fifteen days. It will bo edited
by S. T. Chatman, Esq., lato of tho Macon Mes
senger, and will bo devoted to the advocacy of tho
Union electoral ticket for Pierce and King. We
await its publication, to lay before our readers a
more extended notice of it.
Dr. Hines in Limbo.—A man calling himself
Dr, David T. Hines was arrested in this city yes
terday morning, at tho instance or Mr. Isaac Muk
den. Mr. M. chnrgod tho Doctor with having pos
sessed himself of his watch, valued at $50, and $10
in cash, and with taking out of tho Post Office, un
der false pretences, ono of his letters with money
in it The Doctor was carried before Justice Rai-
ford, who committed him to jail to await his trial.
The Steamer Jenny Lind, Capt. Hone, arrived
here yesterday from Mobile. Sho is owned by
Messrs. Hone &. Connery, of this city; is of 346
tons burthen, with 30 state rooms, a cabin about 115
long, accommodations for 150 passengers. Sho has
been running on tho Alabama river—is about two
yoara old, and is intended, wo understand, for a
tow-boat on Savannah river.
We aro informed by a gentleman who arrived by
tho steamer Jasper, that throe free negroes, a wo
man and two children, wero drowned on Sunday
evening at Darien. It appears that a party of five
bad got in a canoo for tho purposo of having a
pleasure excursion; but becoming a littlo inebriated,
they npset tho boat, from which two escaped with
thoir lives, leaving tho others to drown.
Congress.—In tho U. S. Senate Tuesday, tho
Hon. Charles T. James of Rhodo Island introduced
his bill amendatory of tho existing laws respecting
tho valuation of imported goods.
The Bill making appropriations for tho current
and contingent expenses of the Indian department,
and for fulfilling treaty stipulations with various
IntUuu triboa, for tbo year nnditlH Jlino 30.1853. wo*
taken up, and referred to tho Committee on Finance,
The resolution ordering tho purchase of Mr. Cat-
lin’s collection of Indian portraits, scenes, &.C., was
considered, and after somo dobato ordered to lio
tho tablo by a vote of 26 yeas to 20 nays.
A Bill granting a portion of tbo public lands
Louisiana, and to aid in tho construction of a Rail
Road in that State, was taken up and ordered to
engrossed.
Tho House of Representatives took up tbo bill
giving to all incorporated rail road and plank road
companies tho right of way through the public lands,
and considered the same.
Tho House then went into Committco of tho
Whole on tho state of tho Union, and proceeded
consider the Military Academy Appropriation Bill,
when tho Hon. Edson B. Olds, of Ohio, made
Democratic party speech, to which tho Hon. Hiram
Bell, of tho samo State, made a gallant reply,
tho course of which he vindicated General Scott.
The Whig Nominations of Florida.
Tho Whig Stato Convention of Florida assembled
at Tallahassee, the 15th inst. Judging from tho ac
counts that havo reached us, tho Whig party in
Florida is almost os much divided os in Georgia.
A majority of tho Convention ratified tho nomina
tion of Gon. Scott, whilo not an inconsiderable
minority persisted in refusing to give in their adhe
sion. Col. G. T. Ward, of Loon county, ono of
tho Whig dolcgatcs to Baltimore, was selected as
tho candidato for Governor, and the Hon. E. C.
Cabell, anothor delegate, ro-nominatod for Con-
Next Governob of South Carouna.—Tbo per
sons already spoken of for tho next Governor
South Carolina aro, Col. John S. Preston, Hon.
F. W. Pickens, Hon. W. F. Colcock, Gen. D.
Jamieson, Col. John S. Ashe, Gen. J. H. Adams,
Hon. Wm. J. Taylor, Hon. William Elliott,
Hon. John Townsend, and Hon. John L. Man
ning.
From Porto Rico.—Tho barque Brothers, which
arrived at Now Haven on tho 13th inst., in ten days
from Guayomn, reports that the crops at Guayama
and throughout the island were done for tho sea
son. Produco was high and scarce. Coffee was
selling at $12 the cwt.j sugar from $3,50 to $4,25
the cwt., and molluscs at $15 per 100 gallons.
Heavy rains had set in throughout tho eastern part
of tho island.
Relief for the Sufferers by the Montreal
Fire.—Sensiblo of tho importance of sending relief
os speedily as possiblo to tho poor sufTercrs by
great tiro at Montreal, Messrs. James G. King,
Walter R. Jones, Georgo Griswold, Goodbuo &
Co., Richard Bell, II. E. Ransom, and Charles
Russoll, of New York, on Thursday, united in ad
vancing five thousand dollars for that purpose,
anticipation of tho collections to bo mado among
tho citizens generally; and that sum is now on tho
way to Canada. Mr. James Brown immediately
headed another list for tho advanco of $500, which
was to have been transmitted to Montreal on Fri
day last.
Tho Nashvillo papers mention tho celebration
tho completion of tho Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad beyond tho tunnel through tho Cumber
land mountains. The Banner says:
The tunnol is about ono hundred miles from
Nashville, and its completion forms an important
ora in tho history of trado and tho steam engine.—
The Cumberland mountains havo heretofore op
posed a barrier to tho progress of tho locomotive
into tho Mississippi Valley; but this barrier is now
conquered, and the locomotivo will work a grea
change over all tho fnco of nature in that fortiloanc
inexhaustible valley.’’
/
Tho day after theso nominations were announced,
Col. Ward rose in tho Convention nnd declined to
run as the candidate for Governor. His reasons for
declining tho appointment as wo loam from tho
Floridian, wore throo—"first, ho was not unani
mously nominated; secondly, ho was informed that
others in tho Convention could bettor unito tho party;
and thirdly, ho had that morning received a letter
from Mr. Cabell, which ho road, and which was
of sacha character as to render his running on tho
same tickot with him out of tho question. Tho
lottor announced that tho writor was already before
tho people, having boon endorsed and nominated
by various public mootings—that under no circum
stances could he support Gon. Scott, and that tho
Convention ought not to make an ofiort to carry
tho 8tate, except on tho Stato and Congressional
tickets.”
A doiegato is reported to havo intimated that
Mr. Cabell should bo thrown overboard. With
out acting upon the intimation, the Convention pro-
ccodod to change its sessions from the Hall to tbo
Senate Chamber of tho State Houso, and to sit with
closod doors. Aftor an hour's obsonco, it returned,
and ro-nominatod - Col. Ward. No effort was
mado to disturb Mr. Cabell.
Tho Presidential Eloetora aro Col. J. P. Sander
son, Judgo Thomas Randall, and Major Finley.
Tho Altomatpeare C. A. Mitchell, G. W. Call,
Jr., and DlFisheb.
It may bo propor to odd, that theso facts ore taken
from tho Tallahuooo Floridian, a Democratic pa
per. Tbo Sentinel, tho Whig paper at Tallahassco,
hw w* yet reached us.
San Francisco and China Steamers.—Tho Bal
timore Sun in speaking of tho business boforo
Congress says:
" Among tho next things to bo dono by Congress
is to secure tho establishment of a lino of Tiret-
clnss wur Btcatnors on tho Pacific, to run onco or
twice a month, between San Francisco nnd China.
By accenting tho oficr of Mr. Moore, of Cincin
nati, and his associates, such a lino can bo estab
lished, without tho advanco of a dollar, or oven
paying a dollar for its mail service, nnd merely by
securing to tho line tho postages to bo carried by it,
for a term of years.”
[COMMUNICATED.]
Gens, Jackson and Scott.
Tho Democratic papera in this Stato havo garbled
tho correspondence between Gens. Jackson and
Scott, and by suppressing tho issuo between them,
havo dono gross injustico to tho latter. Though
not a supporter of Gon. Scott in tbo ponding elec
tion, tho writer of this is unwilling to witness so
gross and infamous a suppression of tho truth with
out attempting to correct it, as no ono elso scorns
disposed to do it.
In April 1817 Gen. Jackson, as Commander of
the Southern Military Department of tho United
States, issued an order to the officers under his com
mand, forbiding obedience to any order which did
not lonr.h thorn through him. Tho Socrotary of
War was not named in this order, but tho eflect
and tho intontion of it was to prohibit obedicnco to
any order from that Department of tho Government
which was not communicated through Gen. Jack-
son—in othor words, Gen. Jackson denied tho right
of tho Secretary of War, though acting under com
mand of tho President, to issuo an order to nny offi
cer under his command only through him. This
order was regarded as creating insubordination and
mutiny in the army—it caused no littlo excitement
at the timo, and was tho subject of much comment
in conversation nnd in tho newspapers.
A short time after tho order was issued, Gen.
Scott was present at a privato party in Now-York,
where it was tho principal topic of conversation—in
the course of the conversation his opinion was call
ed for and freely expressed. Ho did not hesitato
to condemn tho order of Gen. Jackson ns mutinous
and also as a reprimand of tho President of the
United States as Commandor-in-Chirt ot the
Army—nor can any right minded man view it in
nny other light now. An anonymous lottor was
addressed to Gen. Jackson giving tho substanco of
what Gen. Scott had said about his celebrated
order. Ho immediately wrote to Gen. Scott enqui
ring if ho had been correctly informed. Gen. Scott
replied to him at length, animadverting on his order
and giving in respectful terms, hia reasons for con
demning it. Tills letter is wholly suppressed by tho
Democratic papers. Gen. Jackson answered in
tliat insulting letter, which tho Democratic papers
havo so oxuitingly published—and concluded by
inviting Gen. Scott to challenge him—Gon. Scott
again replied at considerable length, and only
small portion of bis reply has been published by tho
Democratic papers. Now why did they suppress
tho whole of ono of Gen. Scott’s letters and almost
tho whole of another 1 and why did thoy suppress
tho object of Gen. Jackson’s order 1 for thoy pre
face tho garbled correspondence, which they have
published, by saying that Gen. Jackson issued
order, but failed to say what tho order was, or what
was its object—why BupprcsB ill Why do thoy
fear to toll tho truth ? It is certain that no ono can
get tho truth from their publication.
The wholo correspondence may bo seen in tho
16th volume of Niles’ Register. No candid man,
after perusing it can hesitate to say that Gen. Scott
was right, as ho has always been in all his military
controversies. However much ho may err in poli
tics, in military matters he is generally right.
Ono or two reflections in conclusion. If Gon,
Scott is a weak candidate—easily to bo beaten—os
somo would represent him, why foar to do him jus
tice 1 Why not tell the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, in his controversy with
Gen. Jackson 1
If tho supporters of Gen. Piorco attempt to secure
his election by so gross an outrago upon truth, and
by such a dastardly effort to injure tho character
ond standing of Gon. Scott os a man of honor, what
high minded and honorablo Whig can thoy expect
to affiliate with them in tho pending election 1
Tho military character of Gen. Scott is tho pro
perty of his country—wo must protect thnt, though
wo mny not wish to mako him President of tho
United States. JUSTICE.

Messrs. Editors Tho annexed extract of a lot-
tor, which was rocoivod from an intelligent Whig of
tho right stamp from tbo interior of tho Btntd ol
Now-York, contains vlowa nnd sentimonts bcliovod
to bo.in accordance with tho views of many who
have in day* past labored with you. A place for it
is respectfully asked in your columns by
A SUBSCRIBER.
" You ask how ‘Scott stock’ is with us, and also
my viows on tho Presidential quostlon. As to tho
first, I think Scott will got a larger Whig voto than
any othor of tho candidates tliat wore before tho
Convention could havo got. As to my viows I do-
procate tho stnto of fooling which brings out mili
tary heroes as candidates for tho Chief Magistracy
of tho nation, whatever limy bo thoir qualifications.
But thoro is now left no opportunity for discrimi
nation, for tho candidato of the opposite party is a
Gonoral also, who relies sololy on his military
InurelB for his popularity, and thoso laurels aro ga
thered only by his fainting on tho ovo of bnttlo.
"As rogntds the great question of slavery that
has caused so much diBturbnneo in tho country
sinco tho adoption of tho Constitution, I think thoso
who aro in favor of having tho ninttor rest whore it
is, both at tho South and at tho North, can have no
hesitation in voting for Gonoral Scott. Ho has un
conditionally endorsed tho platform adopted by the
Convonlion, and his supportors nt tho North havo
almost unanimously given in thoir adhesion to this
platform. I think tho history of the pnrtics in tho
country will boar tno out in tho assertion, that any
moasures that the Whigs adopt thoy carry out in
good faith. Tho Northorn people too, you will I
think coinddo with mo, aro ovor ready to fulfil nil
engagements that they entor into. Therefore, I
think tho platform adopted by tho Convention was
agreed to by tho Northern members in good faith,
and with full determination that its principles should
bo adhored to.
“ I think thore ii n gonoral desire in tho country,
both North and South, whicli is daily growing, that
tho subject of slavery should bo let alono and not bo
further agitated, nnd my belief is thnt tho excito-
tnont will very soon pass away. Thoro are restless
spirits all ovor tho country thnt are not satisfied un
less thoy are in a stew of some kind. Wo havo
always had thorn with us and always shall, but it is
timo that tho wholo country should find out that
thoir numbers aro small and insignificant, nnd thoir
influence where thoy are known just nothing at all.
Tho fanatics and abolitionists of the North, and
tho nullifiera ond socesdonists of tho South, onch
belong to tliis category, nnd if they wore as woll
understood abroad os they are at homo, tho fuss
they intend to kick up would not be heeded beyond
the sound of thoir own din. From the formor wo
shall constantly havo petitions to Congress on tho
subject of slavery, but tho only way to get along
with them is to tako all tho petitions thoy chooso
to offer, nnd when thoy gel tired thoy will stop.—
As for tho Southern fanatical chivalry, ns soon ns
they find out thoy are fighting a shadow, thoy will
abandon tho contest nnd look out for higher gnmo.
There i8 another point that I think tho South,
aftor a timo, will chango front upon again—that is,
protection to American industry. I am led to this
belief from tho increase of manufacturing establish
ments in tho Southern States—they will havo an
opportunity to judgo for themselves a little by prac
tical experience. Tho Southomore wero tho origi
nators of the principle, and would havo adhered to
it still, had they not been nearly ruined by the Cot
ton speculations of 1825, and falsely attributed thoir
impoverished condition to tho working of tho tariff
—politicians, at tho same.timo, making uso of this
state of fooling to build up a party upon.
“ Tho present aspect of affaire between tho North
and tho South appoare to mo very favorablo in all
points of view. A desire to conciliate porvadcs
tho masses throughout tho whole land, and pooplo
whoso viows havo been directly opposed to each
other, aro now ready to meet on middlo ground,
bury tho hatchet of discord, and aro willing to let
tho laws, os thoy now stand, bo carried out and en
forced. Let them remain unchanged until ail ex
citement has passed away, so that thoy can bo tried
on their morits, and if it is then found, in tho cool
judgment of tho nation, that thoy aro insufficient or
inexpedient, they cun bo altered or amended with
out agitation or oxcitcmont, but my boliof is, that
no alteration or amendment will bo attempted or
desired.
If tho opinions I havo hero oxpressed of tho stato
of fooling in the country are near tho truth, thon
tho subject uf tho elociion ol ProeM„nt. will result
in a simplo strifo between tho two great political
parties of tho country, which shall havo tho as
cendency for tho next four years. At tho North 1
am very sure thoro will bo very fow votes east for
any other than tho Whig or Democratic candidates,
arid if tho pooplo of tho South do not tako tho
Bflmo course, ovory voto thoy cast for a third man
lessens tho chances of tho election of his own party
candidato and increases that of his opponent, and
ovory Southern Whig who costs his voto for General
Pierce Bimply assists in tho election of hia oppo
nent’s candidate, whoso oloction will not secure to
tho South tho least possible advantngo in any ono
particular that thoy would not enjoy if Gen. Scott,
thoir own party candidato, is elected.
I think, on mature reflection, that if you aro a
genuine Whig, you will not only voto for Gon.
Scott, but use all tho influcnco you can to warm
up othor Whigs in hia favor who aro os lukowarm
os you havo beon. A great many hero havo ex
pressed themselves os you do, but thoy are fast wa
king up and going back to their wonted pluces in
tho ranks, and when tho timo comes will bo found
os manfully fightiug for Scorr as thoy did for Tay
lor at tho last election.
Fruits and Flower? among the French.—Tho
culture of roses In Franco affords, says tho Now-
York Tribune, a branch of trado by na moans up-
important. As oarly os 1770, tho numbor of roso
stocks reported was-lnrgo, and the trado has in
creased until now tho incomo of tho Dopnrt-
mont of tho -Soino alono from this sourco 1b es
timated at a million of franca. Tho exportation to
England, Germany, Russia and North Amorlca is
largo and important. At lonst 100,000 stocks are
annually sold in tho Paris flower market, nnd un
graded plants to tho numbor of 150,000, nnd an
annual avoraga of graftod plants for exportation of
800,000. Besides tho roses, flowore to tho amount
of 4,000,000 ol francs aro annually sold in thoso
markets, besides thoso which are usod in public and
privato festivals. Paris consumes annually straw
berries to tho amount of 5,000,000 francs, to tho
raising of which fruit 1,250 acres of land aro do-
voted in tho Department of tho Soino alone. Epl-
nny, near St. Eonis, sends daily, during tho season,
500 franca’ worth of asparagus to England; and
Mondon, plums to tho liko amount. Hnrflour ox-
ported last year, 100,000.francs’ worth of muskrael-
onsto London. Melons throughout Franco aro
very profitably cultivated. French muakmolons
aro sont oven to tho Soncgal and to tho United
States.
Italy.—Tho Oiornale di Roma gives an acoount
of tho Popo’s visit to tho excavations now in pro
gress by his ordore along tho Via’Appis. Thoso
excavations havo now reached some ancient burial
places of tho Primitivo Christians, near tho farm of
Torre Maranoia, whore, it is said, Saints Norous,
Achillous, and Domililla uro buried. Hero n wido
stnircaso of tho fourth contury has boon laid upon,
loading to tho crypts holow, which aro to bo
completely repaired by M. Fontana, tho architect.
Tho Popo descended tho staircaso, and followed
a long corridor giving access to a crypt whoro
thoro still are somo ancient paintings. In nnothor
crypt of tho timo of tho early pontiffs, thoro are
still sotno vestiges of beautiful frescoes, designed
by tho eolobrated Antonio Rosi. Thoro are several
subterranean churches, or rather chapels, on this
spot, somo of which had been seen by Bosio, but
had since bocomo inaccessiblo; thoy aro now clear-
cd, and contain sovornl largo paintings, besides
many inscriptions by tbo first Christians, and somo
Pagan bas-reliefs, which have been used by tho
formor to cover up thoir tombs.
Hia Holiness particularly remarked a copperplate,
on which is an inscription concerning a donation
mado to Mark Antony, tho triumvir; a highly in
teresting documont. Tho Popo afterwards visited
tho Comotory of Calixtus, tho staircase of which
lias boon repaired, and now loads to a sepulchral
crypt, containing paintings and inscriptions showing
thnt St. Cornelius, Popo and Martyr, had boon
buriod thoro.

The Knickerbocker on Drummers.—Tho New-
York Knickerbocker thus hits off tho professional
mercantile drummers of Now-York:
"During tho ‘dull season,’ Mr, Brnssfnco Doolit
tle, uniting business with pleasure, makes a tour
through tho thickly-settled portions of tho neigh
boring Suites, where country merchants most
abound, nnd returns a wiser, and in mercantile pnr-
lanco, a 'bolter’ man. In theso porogrinalions ho
noccssarily becomes partinlly acquainted with n
great number of inon, to whom ho warmly proffers
his services as chaperon, when thoy come to town;
nnd, that ho may not seem wanting in hospitality,
and tho hotter to onablo him to recognizo them
again, ho koops a diary, descriptive of poreons nnd
events worthy of notico which como under liis ob
servation. In this wiso is his journal kept:
'Abner White, Whitovillo, Now-York; red hair,
ono oyo, groon spectacles, long-Ioggcd, worth ten
thousand ; closo buyer, and groat antipathy to
‘drummers.’ Promised to toko him to sco Jenny
Lind.’
‘John Walworth, samo place; tall, lnmo in both
legs; fond of toddy; pretty wifo; keens ustud horse:
considered doubtful. Rich grandfather; good, if
tho old man will endoreo for him; but old man’s
dust.’
‘Jehu Christian, Allentown, Michigan; very hard
Christian, but an excellent Jehu. OwnB livo thou
sand acres of wild land, which kooi»s him poor; will
do to soli if ho soils his Innd: not more honest than
tho Inw uilows: will probably ‘soil’ tho Now-York-
ore ovontunlly. Promised to tako him to a trot.’”
A Funeral Procession Down East.— Tho
Knickerbocker says:
"In a littlo villago 'down East/ thoro onco resid
ed a follow who was rather deficient in intellect,
and whoso sayings havo furnished more fun than a
littlo to his follow townsmen and acquaintances. A
fow years sinco his father, with whom ho hud al
ways lived, wont tho way of all 'good folks,’ and
•uvmo wicked ones, top; and as ho had beon a man
of somo consequence in tho commutiliy, Ills Amurai
was numerously attended. This was u source of
great gratification to our hero, who draw ono of his
neighbors a littlo on one sido, nnd gazing with much
pride nt tho extended procession, oxclanned, 'Don’t
wo airing out well, Mr. P—«-!’ ”
Cultivation of Tea at Home.—A writor in tho
National Intelligencer snyB:
"Tea can bo produced in this country undorsovon
cents a pound, calculating lubor at fifty cents per
diem. A tea plantation requires euro tho first and
second years, after which it is a most hardy plant,
and will yield tea for twonty-fivo or thirty years.—
So tho only troublo is plucking tho loaves nnd dry
ing them, whicli is labor for women and children.
A man actively engaged ton hours in tho day nmy
collect fifty to sixty pounds of green lonf, nnd an
other would manulucturo them, and tho quantity of
dried tea would 121 to 15 pounds. A fair planta
tion would produco 300 pounds per aero. 1 hnvo
mado as much as 480 lbs. por aero in tho year on
somo land 1 hold on tho west of China.”
Of Indigo ho is equally sanguino, nnd denies that
its cultivation iB unhealthy; nor is thnt its character
where it is known nnd cultivated. Ho is of opinion
tliat it can bo produced hero under 20 cents per lb.
Prices of Indigo for tho Inst forty years vary from
$1 to $2 per lb.
The World’s Fair at New York.—'Tho Now
York papera contain an official announcement that
tho proposed Exhibition of tho Industry of all Na
tions, will open in thnt city on tho 2d of May next;
and notico is givon that tho association is now ready
to rocoivo applications from those who desire to
becomo exhibitors. Tho numbor of squnro foot,
whether of wall, floor or counters required by appli
cants, must bo stated, and all communications must
bo addressed to “tho Secretary of tho Association
for tbo Exhibition of tho Industry of tho Nations,
Now York.”
Tho Jnpaneso Expedition has called out a me
morial from tho Protestant Allianco in England to
tho American Minister, Abbott Lawrence. A de
putation, consisting of Lord Shaftesbury, Rev.
Dr. J. Thomas and J. Macoregob, Esq., presented
it. Thoy ask that in any treaty lonnod with Japan
wo shall oxpoct perfect religious freedom and toler
ation. Mr. Lawrence promised to transmit tho
memorial to tho Secretary of Stato and tho Pro
testant Allianco in tho United States.
Abolitionism.—Tho Boston Commonwealth, an
ultra abolition sheet, contains somo cold-blooded
and brutal comments on tho death of Mr. Clay.—
It says ho nover gained tho confidence ortho hearts
of tho pooplo, allhough ho was "temporarily raised
to places of honor.” It denounces him in strong
terms for his agency in tho passage of tho compro
mise measures, and says tliat "Ao inccnso can be
burnt upon tho altar ol his memory by any sincere
lover of truth and right,” Tho Commonwealth
doubtless thinks tliat "nigger" Douglass is a much
superior man.
Whiskey-Fed Horses.—"Somo of tho horses,”
says tho Now-York Journal of Commerce, “em
ployed on tho Harlom Railroad may havo been no
ticed as having a peculiarly ‘hard look,’ and a fow
may bo considered os regularly installed into tho
fraternity of ‘bruisers.’ It appears that during this
warm weather thoy aro oach in tho habit of taking
their ‘drap 1 of whiskoy and water, in order to bet
ter qualify thorn for labor. This mixture is regard-
os an improvement on tho usual bovorago of horses
in its native state, ond as protecting tho animals
from tho effects of tbo sun. Wait a while, and you
shall know whether this opinion is correct. For
oureolvcs, wo very much doubt its correctness.”
An oxchango paper says: "Thoso farmers who
hesitato about their oblii.y to tako a nowspnpor, aro
roquestod to kcop ono more hen than usual. Tho
proceeds will pay all costs.”
Safety of Life.—Tho bill which tho Hon. Mr.
Davis, of Massachusetts, has introduced into tho
Senate, designed to provido for tho better security
of tho lives of passengcreon board vessols propolled
in wholo or part by Btoam, and which has been
passed in that body during tho present week, is
acknowledged on all hands to bo tho most perfect
in its provisions, and tho best calculated to secure
the safety of life of travellers on the steamboats on
our Western and Southern waters of any moasuro
yet originated. Mr. Davis has dovoted much timo
and labor to tho preparation of tho bill, and has
made himsolf thoroughly acquainted with every de
tail of tho subject which could onablo him to add
now safeguards, or to render its provisions more
stringent and effectivo.
Tho returns for tho year 1851, os quoted by Mr.
Davis, show that the entire mercantile stonm ma
rine of tho United States, including lorry boats,
numbered 1390 vessels, with a tonnago of 417,225,
distributed os follows: on tho Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, 625 vessels, with a tonnago of 212,500; on
tho interior waters, 766 vessels, against 625 on tho
coast, nnd a tonnago of204,725 against a tonnago of
212,000, Tho specific employment of theso vessels,
is more particularly stated in tho following classifi

Tho wiiolo numbor of steamboats built in tho

nnd 45 by collisions. Tho loss of property by tho
destruction of theso vessels, is estimated at $18,-

ing nnccdoto:

a brother of tho ministry, and spoko to him. Ho
rocoived tho rectoi's courtesies, and thanked him
lor tho very odifying sermon ho hnd preached, sug
gesting that it mustliavo been tho result of a good
deal ol labor. " O. no,” snid tho rector, " wo turn

Vory soon after taking my plnce as Superintendent: I
found there wore many demands against the Itoud,which
could not bo pul otr until iho appropriation ortho Legts.
Inturu, Tor tho liquidation, could bo made available,
(without manifest Injustice lo tho claimants,) and as the
curnlngsof the road wore uot sufficient to pay current ex
penses and meet those demands, It was deemed advlsa-
ble to negotiate a temporary loan. I accordingly bor
rowed ulnety-flvo thousand dollars, which, with n psrt of
the earnings of Iho rood, bos bocif used to pay olf Indebt
edness contracted prior tothulstof February, a
explain tho excess or expenditures over earnings. This
loun was paid on the 1st Inst, from the proceeds of tbo
appropriation above alluded to.

AIesbrb.Reed, Bates tt Austin, Gentlemen,—I
fool thnt no sonso of pride, or delicacy, should dolcr
mo from oxpressing publicly my gratitude, Ibr the as
tonishing power and efficacy of your Oxygenated Bit
ters, In restoring me to hoalth, after suflferlOB more than
six yours from Dyspepsia, and Liver Complaint, during
which time, 1 had the best medical advice, with no boue-
flt except temporary rellor.
About two months ngo,I was bo much reduced, that
I could eul scarcely nny food whatever, and was obliged
to toko my bod, in despair or ovor getting any better,
and feeling thnt my dlsoaso was beyond tho power of
medicine. At this time, I road soino ortho cortlflcsle*
of romnrknblo cures, by tho Oxygenutod Bitters, and ob
tained n bottlo of tiio medlelno. However surprising, It
Is nevertheless true, that I was almost Immediately re
lieved of evoiy symptom of my various complaints, and
gained so rapidly, that 1 was a wonder to all who knew
me, after using four or flvo bottles or tho medlcltio.
1 nm now in heller health than I have enjoyed for
many yeurs, and attribute my rostoratlop. by the grnco
of God, to your Invnlnablo medicine. I snail recom
mend lo all who suffbr from nny similar complaints, to
try Ibis wonderful remedy.
